The
Affinity Online Trading Room (OTR) is where we apply the theoretical
knowledge that is taught in our courses and labs under live market
conditions. Trading is a challenge but it is even more of a challenge if
done in isolation. The OTR takes you out of that isolation and opens a
forum where like minded professional, intermediate and novice traders
share trading concepts and ideas. Taking this notion one step further,
we team our professional traders together into small groups and focus
them on trading and informing the entire OTR on what they are doing
within the market segment that they cover. Although the OTR is primarily
focused on providing daily education and trading ideas so that our
traders trading our capital can pull more profits out of the market,
this service is also suitable for those trading their own private
accounts.

Barron's Technology Trader columnist Tiernan Ray, says Facebook (FB) isreal, but its stock is simply way overvalued at about 60x this year's projectedprofit. Thus, it's a focus of dissatisfaction and sheer confusion, Ray says.Onor around June 26, Facebook's bankers will be freed to initiate coverage of thestock. Then we'll see just what they were whispering to some clients during theroadshow, Ray notes. The first of a series of lock-up expirations comes inAugust- bringing as many as 268M new shares to the market. If investors want tosee the impact of vastly more supply, Ray said to look at Internet couponpurveyor, Groupon (GRPN). The stock fell 9% on Friday as the lockup expiredfollowing its November IPO, freeing up 93% of the shares for future sale.Groupon's now 63% below its stock's first-day close of $26.11.
